Ride for the Constitution? Anyone heard of this? One of my classmates posted a link about it, and how the "mainstream media" was trying to debunk, falsely report, etc. Normally when I see reports about the "evil mainstream media" I think it's tinfoil hat time. But after seeing it pooh-poohed in multiple articles in the last few days (including an outright lie from the Washington post, using a fabricated photo from last year), and the following headlines online: USA Today said, “Rain, not trucker protest, slows D.C.-area traffic“. FOX News said, “Dozens, not thousands, show up for DC trucker protest.” Reason.com said, “Trucker D.C. Beltway Shutdown Plan a Hoax“. Politico said, “Trucker Protest a Bust“. and comparing it to live feeds, people trying to get the word out, etc...I wonder, is there something actually happening? Anyone else watching this? I mean, supposedly there are hundreds of people who took out all the memorial barriers and dumped them in front of the White House. That seems to me to be "newsworthy", but I only find it on these tinfoil sites. Some of the live feeds here. Looks like more than just "dozens" of people out there.
It's been clear for some time the the free press no longer exists. The press is a necessary part of preserving our freedom and they've failed us. The traditional value of the free press was that they exposed abuses by citizens, corporations, politicians and other counties. Now that they fail to report, or participate in cover ups instead of exposing them....we're screwed. Especially in this age of 'pix or it didn't happen.' Our press is no better than the press in the USSR that we all laughed at in the 60's and 70's. Go Blazers
No green font? I actually agree, but I certainly realize that Fox leans right pretty hard. That said, the OP shows the Fox report saying there were dozens. Unless the vids are fake, the Fox report is as pathetic as any left leaning source. Go Blazers
Somehow, even Fox couldn't spin a bunch of truckers trying to cause a traffic jam in order to overthrow the president into a positive story.
"Overthrow the president" may have been a bit hyperbolic. "Have the president removed from office because he is a threat to national security, our way of life and to future generations" is more accurate. http://nation.foxnews.com/2013/10/08/truckers-look-take-constitutional-stand
Fair enough. I was just going off of what I saw on their website (which has since been taken down?) and it was about restoring the Constitution. WBIR in DC sent a reporter out with one of the organizers: “Truckers protesting the actions of President Obama and Congress continue to slowly circle the Capital Beltway on Friday. They say they are fed up with what many of them consider an abuse of the Constitution." Hadn't seen your Fox News quote until now.
Yeah it's unfortunate that the press on the protest got hijacked (pun intended?) by the ramblings of Zeeda Andrews.
Didn't Glenn Beck or somenut say it would lead to a general strike of 100 million that would overthrow Obama? Fizzle.
Meanwhile, in Europe... http://www.france24.com/en/20131014-mainstream-baffled-french-turn-far-right Mainstream baffled as French turn to far right (It's related because the French appear to actually be doing something about their failed left-leaning government)
The demonstration was a joke because they promised a million people and they got a thousand. Also because after they shut down the government, their complaint is that they didn't really mean it, only partially, so it's Obama's fault that parks and veterans' sites are closed. http://www.nationalmemo.com/million...onfederate-flag-waving-embarrassment-for-gop/
I do find it interesting, but in a "Golden Dawn's rise to power" is interesting. PS they got declared some kind of terrorist group or hate group recently.
